Visiting Google today on any Google property you will find a special Google logo for Josef Frank. It is Josef Frank's 125th birthday, he was born on July 15, 1885 and died on January 8, 1967 in Stockholm, Sweden. He is a well known Austrian/Swedish architect and textile designer.
Here is the Google Doodle for Josef Frank:
This may be the first person Google has placed a logo for with only a really small Wikipedia entry. The entry even talks about the Google Doodle:
Frank's designs were featured on Google's homepage on July 15, 2010. This is the anniversary of his birthday. Google picked Josef Frank's designs because they have similar objectives: innovation and love.
